Patrick Allaby and the making of the MARTIN PETERS graphic novel. Set in a Fredericton suburb, Skyline Acres, MARTIN PETERS is the fictional biography of Martin Peters, a teenager with type 1 diabetes. The story revolves around Martin’s relationship with his on-again off-again high school girlfriend, and how, desperate to fit in, he begins neglecting his health. His condition deteriorates until, eventually, he finds himself fighting for his life in the hospital.
Patrick Allaby grew up in Fredericton, New Brunswick and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in December 2015. He has self-published many short comics, but Martin Peters is his first graphic novel. He moved to Kitchener, Ontario in 2017 for health insurance.
